As a grown ass adult, I've come to really appreciate short games. The combat looks like they mixed and simplified roguelike and tactical RPG systems. Gonna check this out!
It's always so deflating to play a JRPG and be having a good time for a while, only to defeat a boss character and realize you've just made it through one quarter of the game and you've got 50 more hours of grinding ahead of you.
It blows my mind that I've been playing the SNES since launch, emulating unreleased and obscure games over the past 20~ years, and there's STILL games I've never played or even heard of that look quite good that somehow escaped my radar. I think the SNES is one of the best video game entertainment systems ever created, even 30 years later.
The art style is GORGEOUS!!! that’s what I call originality! games like: this, mario rpg, yoshis island, spike mc fang , doremi fantasy , kirby, parodius and so on are what get me hyped up when it comes to graphics
Ironically, I was ambivalent on this game UNTIL you said it was "only 4 hours". I play so many 30-50 hour epics that a bite-sized one-and-done RPG is actually precious, precious mana to me.
Never heard of this one. I love how this channel constantly digs up so many games from the classic era that I not only missed out on playing (hardly an uncommon occurence back in the 90s as an Australian PAL gamer, who got shortchanged on releases even more than the other PAL regions), but never even heard of in all the years since following the rise of the internet.
@@georgekavallos7745 Heh, I played SNES emulators before I touched an actual SNES and therefore completed Monstania about 2 decades ago ;) Also, Radical Dreamers and other cool stuff.
The "enemies take turns after you do" looks like the same roguelite design in Torneko's mystery dungeon or Shiren the Wanderer. Just without the randomization.
I could see the Harvest Moon influence almost immediately. Nice find, always love finding hidden gems on this channel! And that soundtrack sounds killer!
gracias amigo. really appreciate the vigor and enthusiasm with which you so rapidly deliver such crucial facts to your community... Thanks for everything you do SNESDrunk... err.... i mean... @The Nostalgia Factor ;)
I've been watching your videos for a while and while I do think at times "There can't be much more that he can cover that hasn't been done to death" but I am pleasantly proven wrong. Keep it up, I love the run-and-gun nature of the videos, short, full of gameplay, fun tidbits of info and perfectly timed for getting to and from work.
he's barely scratched the surface of the US library (although maybe cause one could argue 60% is unmemorable or just licensed crap). Throw in the PAL/JPN exclusives, he has a lot to cover if he so chooses to.
Wow, surprised never heard of this. Man, SNES is one deep console. I dunno what all you'll dig up if you decide on tackling PS1 and PS2 games, who also have some fascinating obscurities.
The sad thing is that when you start getting to CD games, they become harder to patch/translate, so you're much less likely to see a fan-translation of a Japan-exclusive Gen 5 game.
I remember you covered this game briefly in your SFC RPG series. I played it any way I could and enjoyed it quite a bit. Did not realize the composer of Grandia also scored this game. Pretty cool early tactical RPG for the system.
Literally never heard of this game in my life, it does look like it’s of interest to me and given the translation patch it may be something I should be getting on at some point! Now if only I could get more time 😄
I see the amount of areas, environments and characters featured in your gameplay and I just can't believe it's just 4 hours for a playthrough!! At least I know that with my glacial pace caused by speaking to every NPC and checking every corner of every map I can get a couple hours more out of this ^^
This is turn-based combat from roguelike games (real roguelikes, not what is being called roguelike today). If you played Rogue, Nethack, Angband, ADOM on PC, very familiar, except 10 times simpler. The only twist is controlling two characters at once.
@@SonofSethoitae There’s Fatal Labyrinth on Sega, Torneco games on PS.. seen other japanese variations of roguelike too, but forgot. Japanese devs changed the formula somewhat. Instead of complete permadeath, they just reset your level to 1 when you die or exit a dungeon, for example.
A SNES Azure Dreams-esque game that I had never heard of?!?!? Azure Dreams is one of my favorite PS1 games so thank you so much for bringing this game to your channel!
I started watching your channel in 2018 when I was looking for JRPGs and other great games to add to my SNES classics (you have good taste btw) But I find your intro, voice and videos now extremely nostalgic even though it hasn't been that long and also soothing. Thank you. You made my day better.
wow, this looks absolutely fantastic. Landstalker/Alundra visuals with a Grandia-esque soundtrack, and a cheerful simplicity/length that looks like maybe Final Fantasy Mystic Quest done right?
Snesdrunk, did you know that there is an Azure Dreams for the Game Boy Color system as well? It is in fact the refined version of the PS1 albeit in the portable format. I'd be happy to see your thoughts about it! :) As for this game? It reminds me of Sega Genesis Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole. Thank you for the video and see you at the next one! :D
Nightmare of Druaga for PS2 improves on this style of game and makes it far more strategic in doing so. Basically, they indicate whether you or other monsters are faster by putting blue glowing indicator under the character who's attack will beat a red character's attack speed-wise. This speed also translates into movement. For instance, if you have red under you and an enemy one square away is sure to move one square toward you, you can attack the square you predict they'll move to and even though all the animation happens at once like these other games, there's a clear order of actions and pecking order...so in that 'attack where you think they'll move' example, it will look like they walked right into your attack and got damaged. But if the player glowed blue and the enemy in red in the same starting positions and the player correctly predicted the enemy's movement, their attack would miss because it technically was in that square before the enemy was. It's really fun and at times can feel like a real time game, but then just not moving at all, you can think about your next strategy. Anyway, Nightmare of Druaga. It's a roguelike and will yell at you damn near 20 minutes for save scumming as punishment. Very fun stuff.
The enemy movement in this, like Azure Dreams, reminds me of rhythm games like Technodancer and Cadence of Hyrule. Even without the metronome, still feels rhythmic. Another cool game I never knew existed.
I think you mean roguelikes... That movement system is literally Rogue and Nethack, or to stay on super famicom the Shiren the wanderer\Mystery Dungeon series, the ones you mentioned just add a crappy gimmick on top tbh, the originals are better, give the last Shiren a go!
I've never heard of this one, but it looks great! The US missed out on a lot of great 16-bit games! It is great that we can finally play some of these games now with translation patches. I don't mind a shorter game if it at least was fun. It is usually when a game lasts like 50+ hours and drags on with too much with lots of gratuitous padding that usually kills my enjoyment.
yeah there are so many games that it's only really a payment complaint (like $60 for 5 hours and nowadays fighting games have story modes and other stuff). I do find monstania by the numbers, and that's not a bad thing.
One of the first games that comes to mind that could've been so much more interesting if it wasn't padded as much as it is, would be Westwood's Young Merlin... Lord, the back and forth on that game...
The Noriyuki Iwadare soundtrack was the reason I got into this game (because he also did the soundtrack to some of the Langrisser and Growlanser games, but also the Ace Attorney series games) though. I first played this game years ago actually. Amccus (the developers of Super Momotaro Dentetsu and Harvest Moon developed this game btw.
Man, a short, linear, story focused + shiren the wanderer and tactical RPG? That sounds exactly like the perfect game for me! Now only the characters can make or break this and I'll discover playing it. Awesome video as always!
This was the first import/fan translation game I ever played. Aeon Genesis used to have an ancient patch, and I think he came back and updated this one. I enjoyed it at the time, but beat it in probably 4-5 hours and was surprised how fast it was over. It some really good ideas and polish, and some weird difficulty spikes. I remember being stuck on the sea slugs for longer than anything else in this game. Great to see it covered. Also nice to see someone mention Azure Dreams as well. I had that one growing up in a time where absolutely no one else did.
This should have been released stateside..would have been a nice companion piece to ogre battle...but mechanics wise, sounds more like Vandal Hearts with its pre-determined stuff (although VH had item shops) and enemies moving when you move...*goes to khinsider to browse the soundtrack*
@@noop9k I see what you're saying, because Dragon Crystal for the GG was the same, but those games were more standard RPGs. Very rarely did strat RPGs have active battling. VH 2 was one of the ones that instantly came to mind with similar mechanics.
@@thecunninlynguist Well, I was talking about the Rogue from early 80s and multiple games that copied and expanded its gameplay.. In these you would only control a single character, step by step. If you had any companions, they were AI-controlled.
I'll take short and sweet over hundreds of hours of level grinding like a Persona or Final Fantasy game. Your even vocal delivery and smooth editing are a soothing balm.
Yeah, there are so many interesting games on SNES. And so many still untranslated. Maybe not all of them are worth it, but it would be so nice if we could finally play all those games we tried in our youth but couldn't get into
It baffles me how many (commercial) games there are still that I haven't heard of (and I'm almost 40 years old, played my whole life and most of the systems and watched probably thousands of retro game videos on RUclips). Especially Japan seems like a bottomless source of content.
Heh. I thought this type of combat could only be found in some roguelike games or maybe obscure PC RPG titles. It's looks quite simplified, but still fun. I like it. Wonder why it never left Japan. Well, I suppose it does look quite different to the avarage JRPG console title of the era.
Holy crapola! I haven’t thought about this game in ages. I feel like it could’ve had at least a cult following if it launched in the US/PAL regions. It definitely hits those Shiren/Mysterious Dungeon/Azure Dreams vibes. Thanks for covering it and showing it some love!
The short length sounds like a positive to me, been so busy with school stuff I haven't had time to play any super long games so some obscure JRPG that's relatively short sounds appealing right about now
Isn't it funny how much more versatile the system could have been if they would have ported stuff like this to the EU and US? It could've changed games as we know it! Thank buddy, nice video!
There is a game called Day of the idea It's JRPG at it's finest It's a rare game I remember I played in Japans over 25 years ago and all I remember is I had fun while playing it
As a kid that didn't know english at all, I remember playing this one back in the day because for whatever reason, there was a translation to my language of this game. It was incomplete so I remember not being able to finish, but boy I loved that game.
I always enjoy a bit of joking and criticism when it comes to the "Hey. Listen!" tutorial stuff. As for those who say you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, all I can think is they don't realize how massive the SNES library is and now many obscure games there are. And some of those can be quite good. One game I ended up really liking, though it's not really obscure since it's a major license, is the Mazinger game on the system. It's got issues and I wasn't sure about it at first, but it ended up being a lot of fun for me. Monstania looks pretty well made and it is interesting. While I appreciate short games, I can see this one needing a few more hours at least to feel just right. The music did seem very good, as you pointed out. And the box art looks excellent.
"Although this one doesn't stop to tell you Hey Listen Listen Hey Listen" Seriously? We're still doing this 2021? Like, really, seriously? Like, come on, really? Come on now, seriously? Like really? You can't be serious right now, like really? Are we really doing this? I mean seriously? Like, really? Really now? Seriously?
The sprites are actually more similar to: "Eternal Eyes" "Final Fantasy tactics" "Saiyuki:Journey West" A vivid reminder if think about these games. Right or wrong?
Seems similar to chocobo dungeon or Torneko by comparison (especially after seeing that Octopus battle which reminds me of the Ultras boss battle in Chocobo’s Dungeon 2). Though it’s Mystery Dungeon genre without the mystery part (aka randomized floors and items when entering dungeons) annnd I guess the leveling up rpg elements.
I'm a simple man, with simple tastes. If you shine a positive light on Azure Dreams, then you get my Like. More people need to know about that forgotten gem on the Playstation. It's a fusion of Pokemon, Roguelike, and dating sim, which is an experience that you can't get anywhere else.
well, thanks for the video to acompany my morning coffe, and regarding the game, i have never seen this game and looks amazing thanks for the recomendation

It’s pretty good. If you ever played Shiren or the Mystery Dungeon series it’s like that.
Rhapsody on ps1/ds is like that, an 8hr game. Thankfully.
@treeghettox Lots of great indie games would disprove your theory!

It’s folks like Aeon Genesis that’ll make sure you’ll keep going for a long while.
They're like the Rosetta Stone tablet of gaming. Important in the preservation of gaming history.
Ghideon Zhi. Always praise the Zhi.
I can't belive there still doing translations
This name has been in my vocabulary over 16 years

I’m tired of 30-50 hour games. 8-20 is PLENTY. If a game has replay value, great I’ll get value by replaying it if I choose.
Some say flaw, others say feature.
only psychos complain that an rpg is too long
@@mojebi3804 I like RPGs but I don't play them because most of them are too long.
@@mojebi3804 If I play a short RPG, that leaves me with extra time for another long RPG. Truly psychotic concept, I know.

I keep my own “chill-bit” music playlist going on YT, and I must have added atleast HALF of the Monstania OST to it. It’s so good!
Honestly it being that short is a plus in my book. I've come to really like short and sweet experiences.

this thingy where enemies move at the same that you must be reminiscent from the rogue-like games
Visually it looks more like Landstalker
landstalker!
Love ya snesdrunk
Yo, Snesdrunk... Is this game originally in english or do we have to patch it to be like yours?
Thanks in advance, Love ur content!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have a two year old so a four hour playthrough is perfect for me.
It seems like this is the first SNES/Famicom game on this channel in a while that actually looks fun.
dude you do good a well done job keep it up and thx for all the recommendations and games that I never play on my snes
This has a great look
Kudos to you for mimicking Navi instead of using sound bits like everyone else
The sprites are actually more similar to:
"Eternal Eyes"
"Final Fantasy tactics"
"Saiyuki:Journey West"
A vivid reminder if think about these games. Right or wrong?
My first thought was Lunar: Dragon Song.
Another game I will have to download and fire up ANY WAY I CAN.
I just left one of those "bottom of the barrel" comments last week! Nice to see I was wrong!
Damn, the music really is awesome. Thanks for the heads up
Seems similar to chocobo dungeon or Torneko by comparison (especially after seeing that Octopus battle which reminds me of the Ultras boss battle in Chocobo’s Dungeon 2). Though it’s Mystery Dungeon genre without the mystery part (aka randomized floors and items when entering dungeons) annnd I guess the leveling up rpg elements.
Shadow run is the most underrated SNES game ever
I'm getting Landstalker meets Spike McFang vibes from the visuals.
I'm a simple man, with simple tastes. If you shine a positive light on Azure Dreams, then you get my Like. More people need to know about that forgotten gem on the Playstation. It's a fusion of Pokemon, Roguelike, and dating sim, which is an experience that you can't get anywhere else.
well, thanks for the video to acompany my morning coffe, and regarding the game, i have never seen this game and looks amazing thanks for the recomendation
Thanks for this! I'll have to check this one out for sure.
Wow! Finally an SNES game I haven’t checked out yet!
